wht will they do in security check and criminality check? what is the way to check?
criminalty chk is passed when you submit clear police certificates, no issue.

security checks are done through secret agencies and no one know how and what r they checking, but until security is not passed they will not issue any

detail by quorax is given belwo.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

this guy you knew who was called for interview, where is he from? and which is his LVO office??

I dont understand i am aware they call people for interview who seems to be a risk not everyone......moreover i was under the impression after medicals the file is 90% done, then why interview again???????
The guy is from Pakistan and his visa office is London. As mentioned before, interview was to determine eligibility ,,,,,,,,,LVO STYLE.

Has anyone whose application is with NDVO did their medical in a different country, if yes do you know if doctors sent your medical reports to NDVO office or to the local VISA office?

Also I submitted my medicals and my updated application on 25th Oct. When I can expect to see the 'medicals have been received' in my application status?

has anyone got a interview request after medical were sent??
Yes that is exactly what my parents are facing. They passed the eligibility check long ago. This interview is for security screening. Basically it is to check whether they are terrorists or spies or whatever. Once in this step, for the sake of security of Canada, they can no longer release any information regarding the progress. It takes whatever it takes. It has been 7 months and we haven't heard anything back.
Anyone has similar experience?? This is getting really frustrating. There is no end date for this process.

I am a little confused with my timeline.

I applied initially in November 2012 to Nova Scotia
I then got an email saying they received the application, they sent it to the visa office and this appeared on my ECAS.
We were then sent an email in March 2013 requesting medicals. These were done and sent in April 2013.

I have since heard nothing at all but what's more my eCAS still says only 'application received' although when I click on that it tells me medical results have been received.

I emailed them and they replied to say it will probably be reviewed early in the new year (2014).
Not I am confused...if they haven't started reviewing yet...then why have we already had the medicals requested? They will run out in April ?! And I don't want to have to have them re done just because they requested them prematurely.
My process seems to be a little backwards!!! Don't get it ! :'(

Hi Jenny,

It seems that you have already come to the logical conclusion on this. Unfortunately, should this be the case, you won't be the first one to have their medicals expire and will need to go through them again. Though it is quite rare that you received request for medicals in the first 4 months of applying.

Have you already been asked for police certificates, supporting documents, etc. already?

Regards,

Hi,

I need precious advise from friends here.

I had medical examination done for self and family at IOM. During the exam medical officer had observation of cardiac murmur with my son. He referred my son to a physician at their campus who examined him and declared him 'Fit'. We left and there was no contact made from IOM for additional checkup.

Now after 3 weeks, I am receiving additional medical checkup request (for my son) from CHC India for cardiac murmur. I feel that there is some documentation lapse at IOM and the comments of physician doctor has not been entered. CAN THIS BLUNDER HAPPEN? HAS SUCH THING HAPPENED WITH ANY FRIEND HERE? Or Is it possible that they tell us something and write other thing on the medical report.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REMIND THEM THAT HE WAS DECLARED FIT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GIVE ME ANY WRITTEN STATEMENT. HOW CAN I REPORT THIS LAPSE FROM IOM TO AUTHORITIESPLEASE GUIDE ME.

Regards,
